DEARBORN (AP) — Ford Motor Co. has agreed to pay up to $10.1 million to settle sexual and racial harassment allegations by workers at two Chicago-area plants.
The settlement announced last week follows an investigation by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which says it found evidence that employees at
the Chicago Assembly Plant and the Chicago Stamping Plant subjected female and black workers to sexual and racial harassment.
Dearborn-based Ford says it chose to voluntarily settle the allegations without any admission of liability “to avoid an extended dispute.”
The company says it conducted its own investigation and “took appropriate action, including disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.”
